Lots of Play: The Annex (July 24–26)
About this Event
Over three days, this free event transforms a parking lot into a vibrant community space filled with workshops, performances, and interactive activities. From puppet-making and live music to drumming, stilt walking, cyanotypes, and collaborative art-making, the weekend brings together artists, neighbours, and community members for a shared celebration of creativity and play.
Programming is free and open to everyone, with select sessions requiring registration due to limited capacity. To reserve a spot, click “Check Availability,” choose your workshop time, and register for your ticket. Drop-in activities will be available throughout the weekend as space permits.
